Part of my exploration of teas/tisanes that don’t have caffeine.
Insulated mug, 1.5 tbsp into a filter bag, 11oz of 212 F water, steeped for 7 minutes.
Deep brown-red color, much more red than any other tea I’ve had so far. Looks like the filter bag didn’t have a tight seal, definitely floating tea within.
Very similar to the prior rooibos, maybe it’s less that that particular tea smelled like a cheap muffin and more that this is just how rooibos teas smell. Smells less artificial, but still not my favorite.
Bread flavor is much more forward than the prior rooibos I’d tried. Not much vanilla flavor, it’s mostly in the odor.
Not attempted.
